 Smokey Vinyl Tips I'm looking for some advice to get the smell of cigarette smoke out of vinyl. I just got a couple vinyls from a seller in the mail and they smell like an ashtray. I've smelled stinky vinyl before but these are making me kinda sick. Anything I can do besides let them breathe some fresh air?

Activated charcoal
The charcoal will leech the smell out if you place it in an airtight bag together.

yeah charcoal, perhaps those silica packs they put in things to maintain freshness. They are supposed to draw out moisture and odor.

I read on another forum that some people put activated charcoal inside their cases to prevent odours.
Worth a shot?
Not sure how easy it is to come by though, they use it in colostomy bags so you could try and blag some samples from the local pharmacy

Thanks for the tips. I'll have to try this out. Err... the charcoal not the scrotal truss.
